The book covers the period of great theological debate and development in Christianity, including the Arian controversy, the rise of monasticism, the emergence of the papacy, and the development of Christian art and literature. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the major theological issues that arose during the period and the various responses of the church to these issues. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific period in Christian history. The first chapter covers the period from the Council of Nicaea to the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD. The second chapter covers the period from the Council of Constantinople to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. The third chapter covers the period from the Council of Chalcedon to the end of the 5th century. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and lay readers. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, theology, and church history. The book is also an excellent reference tool for students of theology and church history.Eight volume series. The internal conflict between heathenism and Christianity presents the same spectacle of dissolution on the one hand and conscious power on the other. And here the Nicene age reaped the fruit of the earlier apologists, who ably and fearlessly defended the truth of the true religion and refuted the errors of idolatry in the midst of persecution. 108 The literary opposition to Christianity had already virtually exhausted itself, and was now thrown by the great change of circumstances into apology for heathenism; while what was then apology on the Christian side now became triumphant polemics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
